Brits this year celebrate the King’s Coronation on 6th May. Conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the service will reflect the Monarch’s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry. On Sunday, 7th May, a special Coronation Concert will be staged and broadcast live at Windsor Castle, while on Monday, 8th May, members of the public will be rewarded with an extra bank holiday to continue the celebrations. With this in mind, we’ve put together a special guide for the King’s Coronation weekend, helping you discover some of the UK’s best venues to celebrate and mark this momentous and historical occasion as one to remember.
